Lyric Poetry
Lyric Poetry
Lyric poetry focuses on creating a mood or
recreating a feeling. These types of poems
are often short and convey the emotions
and feelings of the author. For example,
they may express feelings about
childhood memories of places or events.
There are many different types of lyric
poetry. Some examples include sonnets
(which have 14 lines), odes (which are
dedicated to a specific thing), and elergies
(which are often mournful).
The words of many old and modern songs
are forms of lyric poetry. Hymns and love
songs are good examples of song writers
expressing their feelings through lyric
poetry.
